Daily we passed through our ancient passageways speak­ing softly or debating heat­edly. How wonderous to watch you grow and mature. You have gained in confi­dence and stature. You are mentally and physically dis­ciplined. All those disparate qualities o f spirit, initiative, perseverance and feistiness have combined to make a special individual, a person I am proud to say I know, one who will walk the corridors of life with high head.

Stephen H. Spahn Headmaster D artm outh C o lleg e ,

B.A.Oxford University, Columbia University,

M.A.

It is so hard to believe that your class will no longer be with us! You have distin­guished yourselves in so many ways and have given so much that it is impossible to think o f Dwight School without the class o f 1979. I cherish the memories we have shared and wish you the very best of success and happiness in the exciting years that lie ahead.

Edward Engle Associate Headmaster Williams, B.A.N ew York University,

M .A.

Dear Seniors,I treasure the times we have shared. When I first knew you, I was impressed

by your humor, intelligence, and enthusiasm. N ow , I can add a few more superlatives: knowledge, sensitivity, and character. You set standards o f excel­lence for every other class to aspire to. This legacy you leave us is a great gift. You go with my love and admiration.

Doris Post

What can I say that I have not said before. I can only stress again that self-discipline, faith in yourself and your accomplish­ments, hard work and study will lead to your success. The future is yours.

H elen Harms

Class o f 1979:If a student lives with criticism, he learns to

condemn.If a student lives with hostility, he learns to

fight.I f a student lives with tolerance, he learns to be

patient.If a student lives with security, he learns to have

faith.If a student lives with acceptance, and

friendship,he learns to find love in the world.

Elinor Morton

My wish for the 1979 seniors: That they have something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Never wait or hesitate,get in gear before it’s too late,for you may never get another chance

SCOTT A. TRAVERS

Ideals are like stars; you will not succeed in touching them with your hands. But like the seafaring man on the desert waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them you will reach your destiny.

- Carl Schurz

N O T E S1) Long hair is not an indication o f personality. The sixties are dead, the categorizations o f people that were accepted then no longer apply to the people today. Richard Alpert wrote: “ Be Here N o w .”2) But this is not to suggest that I deny being a rebel. That I am. There are things I absolutely refuse to accept. I may be too idealistic, but I maintain that neither good nor successful men are necessarily characterized by layered hair and tailored suits.3) Expensive clothes, jewelery, and makeup refine an intended image o f oneself. They do not beautify the human.4) Beauty is only a perception. Beautiful to me is garbage to you.5) Nevertheless, beauty exists in all things. Though people will only see what they want to see.6) There is beauty in all human beings. Sometimes, though, there is no human being behind beauty.7) Beauty is not skin deep. It is sometimes within, that struggles to externalize itself.8) On the contrary, external beauty is not always an indication o f internal beauty.9) Ego and vanity are the foundations o f our culture. They are also the maggots o f our souls.10) Sex can be beautiful, wholesome, and satisfying. It can also be vulgar, empty, and unnecessary.11) A shapely figure is not what makes a body beautiful, and does not invariably make for good sex.12) True friendship is love. True love is friendship. I can find no simpler expression.13) But love and friendship are never simple. So for us simpletons, they remain undefined.14) Good people do not exist. It is the curious combination of good and evil that makes us what we are.15) Evil may be wrong, but it is not bad. It is a major attribute o f our human nature.16) Patience is a virtue. Without it, love and friendship are ephemeral seasons o f the mind.17) Honesty is not a virtue. It is a way o f life. To be honest once, and dishonest the next, is more deceitful than to be consistently dishonest.18) It is close to impossible to be wholly honest always. Like evil, dishonesty is a part of the grand scheme of things, as things are and always will be.19) Earthlings are everything. Long live the earthy and human kind.20) The human being is perfect, in all his imperfections, inside and out.21) I love human beings. I love, and for this reason, I loathe.22) If I care about someome enough to hate him, I probably love him too. I find hatred in me for everyone I’ve ever loved. I believe this paradox to be the most beautiful, fascinating, and devastating universal truth of all.23) I am. I love. I loathe. Therefore, I be.

These are my foremost beliefs.Please agree, disagree, love, loathe, or turn the page.

It s only a dream, but Fd love to tell somebody about the dream. The sky was filled with a thousand stars while the sun kissed the mountain blue, And eleven moons played across the rainbows above me and you. Gold and rose, the color o f the velvet walk that sur­rounds us. (Jimi Hendrix)

Time is yours; time is mine. Can’t you taste it in the wine? Time turns diamonds into rocks. A free bud glides but falls with the flocks. So when time is finally tamed. We can love without being blamed. And yes­terday will no longer be named, when we can run without being chained. (S.K.)

The pope, the clown and the soldier must all someday die. What marks the weakness o f a sobbing man is the dryness in your eye. So you command your submarine fathoms under the sea. Think o f our dream and eat the oyster but save the pearl for me. (S.K.)

I came upon a child o f God. He was walking along the road and I asked him, where are you going? And this he told me. I’m going on down to Yasgier’s farm. I’m going to join in a rock n roll band. I’m going to camp out on the land. And try an’ get my soul free. We are stardust. We are golden. And we’ve got to get our­selves back to the garden. (Joni Mitchel)

T h e secret o f life is enjoying the passage o f time.” James Taylor

Do You Ever: dedicated to Heather Skilling

Do you ever think what life will be, where you will go after you die?

Do you wonder why we’re here why we are born, you and I?

Sometim es I’m plagued with questions answers hard to find.

Sometim es I sit in darkness feeling almost blind.

Then the light from someone’s touch will give me strength to see

And I realize I’m on this earth to actually be free.

Do you ever look at peoples’ faces and see greyness all around?

Do you need a friend to understand and listen to the joy you’ve found?

Finding that special someone who will really care.

Listening to your problems wanting to be there.

You don’t need a lot o f friends to make you feel worthwhile

All you need is that special one to make you laugh and smile.

When you see how simple it can be to feel so good then you will know

How someone can love another person yet can be completely whole.

And the need for playing silly games of hide and seek will go away.

And the perfect picture o f a lover and a friend is there to stay.

Foul Shot

Edwin A. H oey

With two 60 ’s stuck on the scoreboard And two second hanging on the clock,The solemn boy in the center o f eyes,Squeezed by silence.Seeks out the line with his feet Soothes his hands along his uniform.Gently drums the ball against the floor.Then measures the waiting net.Raises the ball on his right hand.Balances it with his left,Calms it with fingertips.Breathes,Crouches,Waits,And then through a stretching o f stillness, N udges it upward.

The ballSlides up and out,Lands,Leans,Wobbles,Wavers,Hesitates,Exasperates,Plays it coyUntil every face begs with unsounding screams-

And then And then

And then.Right before R O A R -U P Dives down and through.

The Dwight Soccer tradition of superiority continued for the fourth consecutive year. The team became league champions after an exciting game with N ew York Friends. Mr. Kelley, a new and determined coach, led the team to another A C IS championship.

The spirit o f the team was heightened by Captain Gary Fuhrman and the goalie, Frank Cooper. These two players, along with Matt Lederman, Serge Kovaleski, Ray Merritt, and Alan Kobren, will be graduating this June.

VARSITY BASKETBALL

Under the coaching o f Henry Cadra, the Varsity Bas­ketball team, through hard work and determination, has become a competitive team. Despite the fact that sixty percent o f the team were rookies, they blended well with the returning veterans. The squad made a success o f the 1978-1979 season, and we all hope that in the future, Mr. Cadra and the rest o f the team will be able to further their great abilities in basketball.

MISS PAMELA SPENCE

Cam elot, directed by Pamela Spence, turned out to be very entertaining. Although there was great difficulty throughout each rehearsal, the comraderie among the members of the Drama Society managed to bring about a superb production in the end.

Without the concern and guidance of Miss Spence, this production would never have been possible.

Miss Spence is currently attending N ew York University. She loves the theatre and has appeared in a wide variety of plays.

Her ultimate goal, however, is to become an opera singer with the Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss Spence plans to study in Europe starting next fall as part of her training.

An excerpt from;

DWIGHT’S BOOK OF

Greatest display of weaknessThis year Susan Kleban entered into the Dwight Book o f Records by setting the world record for most unsuccessful attempts at bending steel poles. She failed to bend 4,918 steel poles. Susan is shown here going for the record on her first attempt.

154

Longest sustained absence-Peter “ Arizona” Lipman did not report to school once this year, thus enabling him to lay claim to having the greatest case of absenteeism. Pete, Mom and Dad love you, so please come back.

Most logical reason for having a sex change-In the height of the sexual revolution two Dwight students, the former Susan Fujiwara and the former Caryn Goldberg, had sex changes, when asked why they would rather switch than fight, the girls logically replied, “ We just wanted a close- up look at the urinals.” The girls arc shown taking a peek.

■i

WORLD RECORDSThe famous “ Vomit” Vic Douglus lost his spot among the immortals by having to take a back scat in the category o f most socially refined. V.V.’s actions come nowhere near the ideals practiced by the diversified participants o f the Dwight School Dance. They expressed themselves well in all aspects of cultured living. With their speech “ tasteful,” their dress immaculate, and their beer Heineken, they danced and danced.

Greatest protest against industrialization-in objection to industrialization and the razing of our forests, Tom Szabo made a cosmic protest on behalf o f nature. Tom look it upon himself to live harmoniously with nature and relate with the trees. It is for this gesture that Mr. Szabo enters the Dwight Book of Records for being the first human being to be planted.

Most non-reality existence-Emily Kurtz, who has professed that she is not real and has surrendered to the void, has overlooked one basic principle; She exists because her feet are killing her.

behind me waiting for a m om en t when . . .

T im e to go hom e & cook supper & listen tothe rom an t ic war news on the radio

. . . all m ovem ent stops & I walk in the timeless sadness o f existence,

tenderness flowing th ru the buildings, my finger tips touching real i ty’s face,

my own face s t reaked with tears in the mirror o f some window-at dusk-

where 1 have no desire-

for bonbons-or to own the dresses or Japanese lam pshades o f intellection-

C onfused by the spectacle a round me,M an st ruggling up the s treet

with packages, newspapers, ties, beautiful suits

toward his desire M an , woman, s t ream ing over the pavements

red lights c locking hurried watches & m ovements a t the curb-

A nd all these s treets leadingso crosswise, honking, lengthily,
